In the December case, four people rushed into the credit union, 930 W. North St., about a tenth of a mile east of Citizens Bank; demanded cash; and fled. The suspects were described as three males and a female.

Thursday, three people, two males and a female, entered the bank at 1111 W. North St. At least two of them jumped the counter and demanded employees open registers, Jackson police reported.

Thursday afternoon, police located the white Cadillac believed to be used to transport the suspects to the Citizens Bank. It was in a parking lot at Hallett and McKay streets, about three-tenths of a mile southwest of the bank. The engine still was running, but no one was in it, Holda said.

He said the car was reported stolen out of Pittsfield Township, south of Ann Arbor.

A witness observed the suspects being dropped off in the Cadillac, Holda said.
